I'm a co-writer, publisher of that song [Right Now ], so for it to get accepted, we had to sign off on it. I signed off in a second. You bet that anyone can use this. I don't care. You can use it for anything. If it is to inspire people in the positive sense.
Sammy Hagar
I would like to enlighten people.

I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.

This is pop music. You've got a candidate for president of the United States using it, that's hitting the biggest audience you're ever going to hit in your entire friggin' life. And you don't want that? Bullshit. That's what you want. It's not even for success or fortune, it's because that's the power of the song.
Sammy Hagar
When I want to go be Chickenfoot, I go out and I'm the artist. It's all musical.

It took me a long time to put it to use in things, but the name of my publishing company is Nine Music, and Red became my theme song.

There are a lot of people going around where an alien took over their body, and their soul will actually leave and be, like, in a sleep or in a near-death situation.

I had been in Africa for six weeks on a safari with my family. I said, You know, I made a lot of money. I am getting kind of burned out. I really want to do something special. So I went on this extended trip to Egypt, Kenya, Sardinia - I really did it, man. I was coming home, and while I was gone, they changed the speed limit from 65 to 55.

I always liked a good love song and I dig being in love.
